Another installment of recipes, con-
tributed by the ladies to the GLOBE
Cook Book, is printed herewith. Thanks
are rendered the ladies for their kind
ness and promptneSS. A sufficient num-
Der of recipes have been received to fill
the book, and no more are desired. The
printing of full page of them will be
continued in the Sunday issue of the
GLOBE for two or three weeks. AS soon
as possible after the last installment is
printed the Cook Book will be issued and
mailed to the addresses of every con-
tributor. An erroneous impression
seems to have gotten abroad in some
quarters that a copy of each issue of the
paper while the recipes were running
would be sent to each contributor. Pa
pers are sent only to those ladies whose
names appear in each Sunday edition.
If she has only sent in one recipe and
that was printed the first week, copy
of that issue was sent her and she will
receive no more. Each contributor,
however, will receive copy of the Cook
Book as soon as it is printed.

The Great Manhattan
Is gaining favor daily and with
such sure, certain and rapid
strides, that there is apparently
no limit to our Enterprise. Al
though we have every reason to
be proud Of the immense and
wonderfully large business we
transact, we trust we are not un-
duly SO, that our heads are not
sWelled with the Importance of
the position we hold in this city.
We are thankful to the public
for their generous patronage,
and it will be our aim to sustain
and increase the same. Does it
not stand to reason that with
our large business and our facil-
tiles for conducting same that
we must Of necessity sell goods
vastly cheaper than other deal
ers can? Does it not strike YOU
as a very apparent fact that the
store where you can get the
greatest choice Of goods, where
the One-Price System is strictly
carried out, where the goods are
guaranteed in every case to be
LOWER IN PRICE than same
quality Of goods can be obtained
Elsewhere?
Where the guarantee goes
with every article or garment
that it shall give satisfaction in
every way or money is promptly
refunded, is the place which a
person would naturally patron
iZe. Does it not seem agreeable
to good sense that we, who do
almost double the business of
any other dealers, can afford to
sell for one-half the profit of
those who do very little more
than one-half our trade?
We sell the best made goods
in Clothing, Gents Furnishing
Goods, Hats and Caps for men,
boys or children, and would like
EVERYBODY to call and inspect
our stock before purchasing
elsewhere, feeling assured we
can save you money.

This quiet village. noted for its sobriety and

more than usual activity for several days past.
New life seems to be infused into it, both in a
religious and commercial way.
At the Lutheran Church. religious services
have been in progress for several days. conduct
ed by Rev. Mr.. Smith, evangelist of the
Lutheran denomination. These services have
been well attended by people of the different
denominations In the village and vicinity
Mr.. Smith breaches with great earnest ness
and an aspect of seriousness seems to pervade
the congregation. Some have already made
profession of their faith and others seem deep
ly impressed.
In a comm ercial way, the village has re.
ceived an accession within the last few days, in
the arrival of Mr.. 8. N. Giles. who. with his
family, will occupy the house formerly occu-
pied by b. H. Hanger, Esq. MIR. Giles expects
to open his store at this stand in a few days.
On the opposite side of the road Mr.. Hanger
has laid the foundation for new building,
which, when completed, will be graat i'm
provement and add much to the beauty of the
Vile.
Another evidence of progress is seen in the
erection of a Barriers shop. whose flaming sign
has just made its appearance on main thorough
fare, not far from the opposing stores, under
the proprletorship of an enterprising man and
skillful barber from the city of Richmond.
